The box car (TOMALCO kit) is now weathered. There were no decals, so it became a Silver Valley RR car.  Smiley



The reefer ( ALAMOSA CAR SHOPS kit ) needs still some weathering. Those decals are very thin and fragile !!!

And here're prototype pics.

Corey: Corns looking good. When's the harvest?

Harvest? With the labor of love that's been put into that stand of corn, by golly that field's gonna be there forever!

Corey, coming frrom this old Hoosier who's seen more than his fair share of cornfields over the years, I must say that's the finest modeled field I believe I've ever seen. Very nicely done.

And a very Happy Easter to all!

That's a beauty, Corey!  Kinda reminds me of this,

A farm boy accidentally overturned his wagon load of corn. The farmer who lived nearby heard the noise.

“Hey son!” the farmer yelled. “Forget your troubles. Come on in with and have dinner with us. Then I’ll help you get the wagon up.”

“That’s mighty nice of you, ” the boy answered, “but I don’t think Pa would like me to.”

“Aw, come on,” the farmer insisted.

“Well okay,” the boy finally agreed, and added, “But Pa won’t like it.”

After a hearty dinner, the farm boy thanked his host. “I feel a lot better now, but I know Pa is going to be real upset.”

“Don’t be foolish !” the neighbor said with a smile. “By the way, where is he?”

“Under the wagon.”

Here are a few progress shots from my cornfield.  I have about fifty percent more corn to add to the existing section. There are already 1600 stalks in this bit.   The other side of the road will be soy beans.  There will be a stand of tall trees on the far side to break up the view of the mill.
  Obviously I have some work to do.Smile

I really, really want to see a couple of baseball players coming out of that cornfield.

The tunnel looks great Wolfgang!

Is that a Tsunami sound decoder in the locomotive?

The engine is from Blackstone, RTR!. Blackstone is close to SoundTraxx®. Therefore they use Tsunami decoders.
